essie Jelly Gloss Apricot Sheer Orange Nail Polish 0.46 fl oz — Vegan, Buildable Gloss Finish

essie's Jelly Gloss Apricot is a sheer, buildable translucent orange polish that creates juicy, layerable jelly finishes for at-home nail art.

Designed for creative, customizable manicures, this apricot jelly polish blends a glossy translucent look with enough pigment to build coverage over multiple coats. The vegan formula offers a smooth glide and a shiny, glass-like finish that works alone or as a layering base for milky or multi-shade effects. Packaged with essie's easy-glide brush, it helps produce even, streak-free application and allows DIY designs without a salon visit.

How does this polish achieve the classic jelly look?

The formula uses translucent pigments to give a luminous, see-through color that deepens with each coat. Because it's intentionally sheer, you can add multiple layers to intensify tone or stop at a single veil for a soft glaze.

• Translucent apricot-orange pigment for a glossy jelly appearance
• Buildable coverage—one coat is sheer, two or three coats deepen color
• Glass-like shine that reflects light for a juicy finish

What makes application quick and even?

essie's signature easy-glide brush is shaped to cover the nail in fewer strokes, reducing streaks and touch-ups. The polish’s viscosity balances flow and control so application feels smooth rather than runny or thick.

• Wide, rounded brush head fits most nail shapes and sizes
• Semi-fluid formula levels out while drying to minimize brush marks
• Consistent pigmentation avoids uneven patchiness with each layer

How can I style this polish for different looks?

Jelly Gloss Apricot works three ways: as a single sheer wash, layered for creamier opacity, or combined with other shades for custom nail art. It’s ideal for gradients, color overlays, or a subtle milky manicure when topped with another translucent tone.

• Wear solo for a light, freshwater-orange tint
• Layer 2–3 coats to achieve a richer apricot glow
• Mix and layer with other essie shades to alter tone and create bespoke designs

Is this polish cruelty-free and what is the bottle size?

This essie polish is formulated without animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals, aligning with vegan beauty preferences. Each bottle contains 0.46 fluid ounces, offering a salon-style quantity for multiple manicures.

• Vegan formulation—no animal-derived components
• Cruelty-free testing policy consistent with essie's standards

Who is this for: Jelly Gloss Apricot suits anyone who loves playful, buildable color—beginners who want an easy-to-apply polish, nail-art fans who enjoy layering and glazing, and eco-conscious shoppers seeking a cruelty-free, vegan option. Whether you want a soft wash of orange or a vivid apricot glaze through multiple coats, this essie polish gives flexible, salon-worthy results at home.
